“I would like to thank Jimmie and The Concrete Edge for all they have done for us since we purchased our Lil Bubba package.

I have read testimonials about The Concrete Edge online and although the machine works great, I would like to talk more about their service. As a new or mature company, you can not function well with a good machine without good tech support or frequent welcoming assistance with your machines, your questions, issues that arise or mechanical support. I feel it is far more important that a company doesn't just sell you a big package, then takes your money and runs.

Last year June 2005, we made several large purchases from different vendors as we were starting our own decorative concrete company. Many of the distributors of these products made many promises. Not only did they make everything seem so easy but they also promised technical support "whenever you need it." Yet, when we needed it most, techs weren’t available, or didn’t have the "positive" attitude we were expecting and things weren’t as easy as we were told they would be. It was more like "whenever you can find it or figure it out for yourself."

I have only had great experiences with The Concrete Edge. We don't expect perfect equipment or perfect situations. What we want is the expertise to be there when we need it and the customer service to be there when something does go wrong with our equipment. We have had all kinds of situations arise here and there and The Concrete Edge Sales and Staff have been more than accommodating. They really have made us feel as if we bought into "a family" or "a crew." They welcome us each and every time we arrive for help or to make purchases. They never made us feel as if we were a burden to them "after the sale." They treat us as VIPs because we have purchased their products and they take immediate action to ensure we can continue to run their equipment as soon as possible. They understand that we make a living with their equipment and we really appreciate that. One of the other companies we have been dealing with has made us feel as if we are "on our own" after we bought their package and we have first hand knowledge of the differences between an ethical company and one that just wants to make a sale. All the kindness and pampering ends when they cash your check.

Another great thing! Anytime we had any problems with our machines, The Concrete Edge service department fixes it right on site usually within a few hours. Nothing has ever been sent out to another company. Most of our issues have been resolved right on their property making it easy for us to get right back to work. They stand behind their products.

I am happy to be doing business with The Concrete Edge and all of their staff. I highly recommend purchasing from them. You can feel at ease that they will not abandon you after the sale and they will assist in any way they can to help you succeed. To summarize my story, The Concrete Edge, Ron (The General Mgr) and Jimmy (Sales) have exceeded our expectations. If you're looking to purchase from this company- worry only about your budget and getting trained. Leave the rest to them and you will be guided in the right direction.”

“Awesome! Once again The Concrete Edge has impressed my wife and I with their continued dedication to us, the customer!

For those of you who have not met Jimmie or Ron, you are getting the best feedback! We only wish we would have found this forum sooner instead of bugging you with emails and phone calls.

Together you only trained us one day each and we are becoming top quality curbers! To think where we are now and where we are headed God willing is looking good. Thank you!

Ron, we were the class that curbed the back left corner of your yard in I think sandstone w/Ashlar stamp less than two years ago! Your story at lunch about your thumb getting smashed between the trailer hitch and ball is still nasty though!

Jimmie, as always Thank you for your knowledge and sending us out with confidence!”

“My wife and I were extremely impressed with both classes, making us feel comfortable with our purchase and the knowledge and sincerity of the product, time spent in all areas. We highly recommend the classes. From beginning to the end, it was a fabulous experience. We thank your staff immensely.”

“To The Whole Gang At The Concrete Edge Company,

Our thanks for your friendly, knowledgeable, and professional help in deciding on the Lil' Bubba® Curbing Package. Special thanks to Jimmie, Ron, and the rest of the gang for getting us on track.

Additional thanks to your shop guys for putting the trailer together on such short notice and your field tech for his instructions on how to use the equipment.”

“I recently purchased a Lil Bubba EP machine from Ron at The Concrete Edge. I presently have two other machines, a Borderline and a Curbmate, both of which I thought worked well! After seeing the EP machine in operation I bought one. I no longer use either of the other two machines. The Lil Bubba is a far superior machine & should not be compared to other machines. There is no comparison! The EP machine lays down a curb twice as fast & twice as smooth! "Time is money!" THANKS AGAIN RON for all your help during and after the sale of this machine.”

“It is with great pleasure that I write this letter. In 1998 my wife and I sold our manufacturing business that we started 20 years earlier in a 10' by 10' store and lock garage. At the time of the sale the business was a multi-million dollar operation. Like other people our age we invested our money in the stock market. Four years latter we were down over a million dollars in our portfolio so we decided to look for another way to help supplement our income. After reviewing many other types of businesses over the next 2 years we came across concrete curbing. It seemed a perfect fit for us because of minimal employees and being able to work, preferably part time.

After reviewing a number of possible manufacturers we narrowed the list to four and visited each facility. We felt with out any doubt the Concrete Edge Company had the best equipment and support staff. We were also impressed with the honest representation of their industry and potential possibilities.

This is our third year in operation and we must say this is the easiest and most profitable business we have ever seen or been involved in. Making five-hundred to a thousand dollars profit a day is the norm not the exception. Like any business you have to make good choices and work but with such high profit potential it really becomes fun. The great part is the level of customer satisfaction this sometimes comes in the form of tips (thirty to one-hundred dollars per job). We close 80% of our estimates which is unheard of in any type of business.

Again we would like to say thank you to The Concrete Edge Company.”

“After buying a brand new, never used Tygar curbing machine on Ebay I thought that we had made a real smart purchase. After one season with the Tygar I knew that I was going to purchase a Little Bubba. The Little Bubba is by far the best machine that I have seen to date. It has one more horse power than the others, it has handles all over the place to help you move it around, and the EP plunger drive system is second to none. The Plunger system makes it so you do not have to have your helper push the concrete down the hopper so that it flows through the machine, I found this to slow us down which in my opinion is a waste of labor $$$. The second thing that I found was with our Tygar machine, it left behind a lot of slag (excess concrete) which resulted in a lot of extra clean up (another waste of labor $$$) Finally what sold me was the flat spots in the curb that my Tygar would sometimes leave, with the Little Bubba machine I have yet to see it.”
